Some people experience a dull, persistent ache, while others describe sharp pain, stiffness or discomfort that spreads into the arms or legs.<\/p>\n<p>To determine the underlying cause, it is important to carry out a <a style=\"color: #f8bcac;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicaplanas.com\/en\/regenerative-medicine\"><strong>personalised medical assessment<\/strong><\/a> that considers the patient&#8217;s symptoms, medical history and physical condition.<\/p>\n<p>During the consultation, the specialist may assess:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The exact location of the pain.<\/li>\n<li>When the symptoms first appeared.<\/li>\n<li>Whether the pain is constant or occurs during certain movements.<\/li>\n<li>The presence of stiffness, tingling, numbness or muscle weakness.<\/li>\n<li>Previous injuries or spinal conditions.<\/li>\n<li>Daily activities, exercise habits and occupational factors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>An accurate diagnosis is essential for selecting the most appropriate treatment and reducing the risk of recurring symptoms.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Depending on the findings, the specialist may recommend physiotherapy, exercise-based rehabilitation, medication or further investigations.<\/p>\n<a href=\"\/cita-blog?referer=\/blog\/en\/2026\/10\/30\/types-of-back-pain-causes-and-symptoms\/\"><picture><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\"

alt=\"Solicita una cita con nosotros\"><\/picture><\/a>\n<h2>Types of back pain by location<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most useful ways to classify back pain is according to the area of the spine affected.<\/p>\n<p>The three main regions are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Cervical spine:<\/strong> The neck and upper part of the spine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thoracic spine:<\/strong> The middle and upper back.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lumbar spine:<\/strong> The lower back.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Each region has different anatomical characteristics and may be affected by different conditions.<\/p>\n<h3>Lower back pain (lumbar pain)<\/h3>\n<p>Lower back pain is one of the most frequent types of back pain.<\/p>\n<p>It affects the lumbar region, which supports much of the body&#8217;s weight and plays an important role in movement and stability.<\/p>\n<p>Common causes include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Muscle strains or ligament sprains.<\/li>\n<li>Prolonged sitting or repetitive movements.<\/li>\n<li>Intervertebral disc degeneration.<\/li>\n<li>Herniated or bulging discs.<\/li>\n<li>Osteoarthritis affecting the spinal joints.<\/li>\n<li>Spinal stenosis or other structural conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Symptoms may include stiffness, muscle tension, difficulty bending or pain that spreads towards the buttocks or legs.<\/p>\n<p>When a spinal nerve becomes irritated or compressed, patients may also experience sciatica, characterised by pain radiating down one leg.<\/p>\n<h4>How is lower back pain diagnosed?<\/h4>\n<p>The first step is a clinical assessment to identify the characteristics of the pain and any associated symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the patient&#8217;s medical history and examination findings, additional investigations may be recommended.<\/p>\n<p>These can include:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Physical examination:<\/strong> Assessment of posture, spinal mobility, muscle strength, reflexes and neurological function.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blood tests:<\/strong> These may be useful when an inflammatory, infectious or metabolic condition is suspected, but are not routinely required for uncomplicated lower back pain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Diagnostic imaging:<\/strong> X-rays or MRI scans may be indicated when symptoms suggest a specific spinal condition or when further investigation is clinically necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once the cause has been identified, the specialist can recommend an appropriate treatment plan.<\/p>\n<h4>Treatment options for lower back pain<\/h4>\n<p>Treatment depends on the underlying condition and the severity of the symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Common approaches include physiotherapy, progressive strengthening exercises, activity modification and appropriate pain management.<\/p>\n<p>At Cl\u00ednica Planas, specialists may also assess whether additional approaches are suitable for individual patients.<\/p>\n<p>These may include regenerative therapies, cytokine-based treatments, monocyte-based approaches, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicaplanas.com\/en\/preventive-medicine-and-antiaging\/ozonoteraphy\"><span style=\"color: #f8bcac;\"><strong>ozone therapy<\/strong><\/span><\/a> or hyperbaric oxygen therapy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>However, the clinical evidence supporting these approaches for common forms of back pain remains limited or inconsistent.<\/strong> They should not replace established treatments when these are indicated.<\/p>\n<p>The most appropriate approach should always be determined through an individual medical assessment, taking into account the potential benefits, risks and limitations of each option.<\/p>\n<p>At Cl\u00ednica Planas, the aim is to explore <a style=\"color: #f8bcac;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicaplanas.com\/en\/regenerative-medicine\"><strong>different therapeutic options according to each patient&#8217;s individual needs<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Neck pain (cervical pain)<\/h3>\n<p>Cervical pain affects the neck and may extend towards the shoulders, upper back or arms.<\/p>\n<p>It is frequently associated with muscle tension, repetitive movements, prolonged periods in the same position or degenerative changes in the cervical spine.<\/p>\n<p>Possible causes include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Muscle strain and tension.<\/li>\n<li>Prolonged use of computers or mobile devices.<\/li>\n<li>Cervical osteoarthritis.<\/li>\n<li>Herniated cervical discs.<\/li>\n<li>Nerve irritation or compression.<\/li>\n<li>Previous injuries, including whiplash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Stress can also contribute to increased muscle tension, particularly around the neck and shoulders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Although stress may influence pain perception and muscular tension, it is not the cause of every type of cervical pain.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A clinical assessment can help determine whether symptoms are primarily muscular, joint-related or associated with nerve involvement.<\/p>\n<h3>Upper and middle back pain (thoracic pain)<\/h3>\n<p>Thoracic back pain affects the area between the neck and the lower back.<\/p>\n<p>It is less common than lumbar pain but may still interfere with everyday activities.<\/p>\n<p>Possible causes include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Muscle strain or overuse.<\/li>\n<li>Prolonged static postures.<\/li>\n<li>Joint stiffness or degenerative changes.<\/li>\n<li>Spinal injuries.<\/li>\n<li>Osteoporotic vertebral fractures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In some cases, pain felt in the upper or middle back may originate from structures outside the spine, including the lungs, heart or other internal organs.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, <strong>persistent thoracic pain or discomfort accompanied by breathing difficulties, chest pain or other concerning symptoms requires medical assessment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Types of back pain according to their cause<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to location, back pain can also be classified according to the structures involved and the underlying condition.<\/p>\n<p>Some cases involve inflammation, while others are associated with mechanical strain, degenerative changes or nerve irritation.<\/p>\n<p>Identifying the cause helps determine which treatments are most likely to be effective.<\/p>\n<h3>Muscle-related back pain<\/h3>\n<p>Muscle strain is one of the most common causes of back pain.<\/p>\n<p>It can develop after lifting heavy objects, performing unfamiliar movements, exercising intensely or maintaining uncomfortable positions for prolonged periods.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Localised tenderness.<\/li>\n<li>Muscle tightness or spasms.<\/li>\n<li>Pain that increases with movement.<\/li>\n<li>Temporary stiffness or reduced mobility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most uncomplicated muscle strains improve with time, gradual movement and appropriate rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remaining gently active, within comfortable limits, is generally preferable to prolonged bed rest.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Ligament injuries<\/h3>\n<p>Ligaments connect bones and help stabilise the joints of the spine.<\/p>\n<p>Sudden movements, falls or excessive mechanical stress can cause ligament sprains.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the severity, symptoms may include pain, swelling, tenderness and reduced mobility.<\/p>\n<p>Mild injuries may respond well to conservative treatment, while more significant injuries require closer medical assessment.<\/p>\n<p>The treatment plan should reflect the extent of the injury and the patient&#8217;s functional needs.<\/p>\n<h3>Herniated discs and nerve compression<\/h3>\n<p>Intervertebral discs act as cushions between the vertebrae.<\/p>\n<p>A herniated disc occurs when part of the disc material protrudes beyond its usual position and may irritate or compress nearby nerves.<\/p>\n<p>Possible symptoms include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Back or neck pain.<\/li>\n<li>Pain radiating into an arm or leg.<\/li>\n<li>Tingling or numbness.<\/li>\n<li>Muscle weakness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not all disc herniations cause symptoms, and many cases can be managed without surgery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Treatment depends on the severity of the symptoms, neurological findings and the impact on daily activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Degenerative back pain<\/h3>\n<p>Degenerative changes in the spine become more common with age.<\/p>\n<p>These may affect the intervertebral discs, facet joints and surrounding structures.<\/p>\n<p>Conditions such as spinal osteoarthritis or spinal stenosis can cause pain, stiffness and, in some cases, nerve-related symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>However, degenerative changes seen on imaging do not always explain a person&#8217;s pain.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, imaging results must be interpreted alongside the clinical examination and symptoms.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions about types of back pain<\/h2>\n<h3>What type of back pain should you be concerned about?<\/h3>\n<p>Most episodes of back pain are not caused by serious conditions and improve with appropriate management.<\/p>\n<p>However, certain symptoms require urgent medical attention.<\/p>\n<p>These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>New loss of bladder or bowel control.<\/li>\n<li>Numbness around the groin or saddle area.<\/li>\n<li>Progressive weakness in the arms or legs.<\/li>\n<li>Severe pain following significant trauma.<\/li>\n<li>Back pain accompanied by fever or signs of infection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Persistent pain associated with unexplained weight loss or a history of cancer should also be assessed promptly.<\/p>\n<h3>How can you tell whether back pain is coming from your lungs?<\/h3>\n<p>Musculoskeletal back pain often changes with movement, posture or pressure on the affected area.<\/p>\n<p>However, pain associated with the lungs or pleura may become more noticeable when taking a deep breath or coughing.<\/p>\n<p>Respiratory conditions can also cause symptoms such as coughing, fever or shortness of breath.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Back pain accompanied by chest pain, sudden breathing difficulties or other severe symptoms requires urgent medical assessment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A healthcare professional can help distinguish between spinal, muscular and respiratory causes.<\/p>\n<h3>How can you tell if back pain is caused by stress?<\/h3>\n<p>Stress can contribute to back pain by increasing muscle tension, affecting sleep and influencing how the nervous system processes discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>People experiencing prolonged stress may notice greater tension in the neck, shoulders or lower back.<\/p>\n<p>However, <strong>stress-related back pain should not be assumed without considering other possible medical causes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During an assessment, the specialist may explore lifestyle factors, sleep quality, emotional wellbeing and physical symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>In selected circumstances, additional assessments of autonomic nervous system function may be considered, although these are not routine diagnostic tests for back pain.<\/p>\n<h3>How can you tell if back pain is serious?<\/h3>\n<p>The intensity of pain alone does not always indicate the severity of the underlying condition.<\/p>\n<p>Some relatively minor muscular problems can cause significant discomfort, while certain serious conditions may initially produce less intense symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>A medical assessment is particularly important when pain persists, worsens or is accompanied by neurological symptoms or other warning signs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>An accurate diagnosis helps determine whether conservative treatment is appropriate or whether further investigation is needed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Personalised back pain treatment at Cl\u00ednica Planas<\/h2>\n<p>Back pain can have many different causes, and effective treatment begins with understanding the individual patient&#8217;s symptoms and circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>At Cl\u00ednica Planas, our specialists assess factors such as spinal mobility, physical condition, medical history and daily habits to help identify the origin of the discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>When appropriate, this assessment may also consider nutrition, physical activity and other aspects of general health that could influence recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Through a <a
